everything is great except the cockpit. just looks out of place on an otherwise awesome build.

Bars changed to a set of flipped and cropped drop bars. More pictures to follow.

Looks practical to me. Drops are like telling a person from Texas to wear cowboy boots. Good for cowboys at work but not for the casual person walking to work or walking up three flights of stairs to deliver a pizza or deliver the mail. Yes I like flat bars and have them on several bikes, will try to post again after the other two never made it up.

flat bars are fine on most bikes but are just wrong on a fine frame such as this. like spinners and white walls on a vintage Lancia. Just not right on a certain level.Drops(and not modern ergo drops)fit.

Sloman you are an Artist. I am a mechanic type , enjoy the difference. Even my flat bars are a bit low riding on a full stomache. I would like to see a close up of the lugwork on this bike.

“Drops are like telling a person from Texas to wear cowboy boots.” so well put WSB…

Some frames say “Go faster”. Drops say”Go faster”. This is one of those frames,deserves drops and a fast rider,not an upright dawdler commuter. Birds of a feather.
